3D computed tomography in dentistry
07 November 2024
Innovative technologies help us deliver high-quality, accurate, and fast services to our patients, which gives our clinic a competitive edge in the market. When discussing innovative approaches, it’s essential to highlight the significance of 3D computed tomography. Check out our blog to learn what 3D CT is and why it’s necessary for creating an effective treatment plan.
3D computed tomography (3D CT or X-ray) is used in nearly all dental services to plan treatments and gather complete information about the patient’s oral cavity. It provides dentists with a detailed and comprehensive view of the patient’s upper and lower jaw, right and left joints, and sinus cavity.
Additionally, 3D computed tomography enables us to:
- Identify hidden sources of pain: Often, the cause of tooth pain is unknown or cannot be detected with a 2D X-ray. However, with modern 3D CT, even the smallest damage is clearly visible.
- Plan procedures accurately, such as tooth extractions, as the 3D X-ray shows the shape of the tooth root and nerve positioning.
- Evaluate bone quality for implants, including its height and width, to determine if there is enough bone for implant placement.
- Examine the unique anatomy and inflammation in root canals before root canal treatment.
- Assess any damage in the temporomandibular joint. If a patient feels pain while chewing or at rest around the ear area, these symptoms may indicate a chewing system disorder.
- Monitor the teeth of adolescents, assess their bite, and plan suitable treatment using both 2D and 3D images.
Blits Dental - Kakhaber Kharebava clinic uses the highest-quality 3D CT device, the “Orthophos SL,” manufactured by the German company Dentsply Sirona. With the Orthophos SL 3D device, dental pathologies are diagnosed through all-in-one virtual visualization, allowing for comprehensive software modeling. In a single scan, we can capture the full upper and lower jaw, right and left joints, and highmore hollow. The information provided by the Orthophos SL 3D device is valuable for both dental and ENT (ear, nose, and throat) treatments.
As we approach the end of the blog, you might be curious about how the procedure is conducted. Before starting the CT scan, it’s important to remove any metal objects from your face and neck, such as necklaces, earrings, glasses, or other accessories. The X-ray is done in a standing position, and you should remain as still as possible to avoid a blurry image. During the scan, the scanner rotates 360 degrees around your head for about a minute, capturing hundreds of 2D images that are then converted into a 3D model using computer software.
